Used floor lamps in Allahabad typically sell for ₹650 to ₹2,300 (about $7 to $24). Lighting sells modestly unless it is a design piece, where the maker can matter more than the condition.
Selling a floor lamp in Allahabad
Allahabad is a historic city at the confluence of the rivers, with a major university and an enormous population of students preparing for competitive examinations. Books and study furniture dominate the second-hand market.
The older parts of the city are congested and the university area is concentrated, which makes collecting several items in one trip practical. Bicycle and two-wheeler handovers are the norm.
Study materials sold at the end of a preparation cycle are excellent value, but check editions and for missing pages. Syllabuses change and an outdated edition is worth much less.
Allahabad, in Uttar Pradesh, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Lucknow, Kanpur and Ghaziabad are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Allahabad
Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.

What floor lamps are worth
What lifts the price
- Original shades in matching condition
- Safe, modern wiring or a recent rewire
What pulls it down
- Chipped marble and cracked bases
- Generic modern lamps, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the flex and plug for perishing or damage
- Inspect the shade in daylight for tears and staining
Getting it ready
- Plug it in and test it with a working bulb. Check the switch, and flex the cable gently along its length looking for cracked insulation.
- Inspect the plug for scorching and the cable entry at the base and the lampholder, which are the wear points.

Put in the description
- Overall height, and base diameter or footprint
- Whether the cable, plug and switch are sound, and whether the shade is included
Style, material and height: “Brass Arc Floor Lamp, 180cm, Marble Base” or “Mid Century Tripod Floor Lamp, Teak”. Height matters because buyers are matching a specific corner, and the shade fitting type matters to anyone planning to replace it.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
